Found a video of a guy building a PC using the N-15 Chromax in the Lancool 215, Iā€™m not sure but I think itā€™s touching the glass :frowning:

Ah thanks! Thatā€™s very usefulā€¦

I am mostly concerned that the heatsink overlaps the RAM slots.

In my actual rig I had to strip the RAM decks heatsinks, I have to do some math about the size of the new onesā€¦

Side questionā€¦

Anyone here that went from INTEL to AMD (MotherBoard + CPU , no GFX Card) and has something negative to report? I am considering a new PC build (yes still from last year) and I am trying to collect ideas and experiencesā€¦

Absolutely not, quite the contrary. About three years ago I went from an i7 6700k and 32GB DDR4-2800 to an Ryzen 9 5900X and 64GB DDR4-3600. Transition was easy but I did a clean windows reinstall.

Itā€™s still a great system. The only thing I changed since is the GPU (2070 ā†’ 3080TI) and some additional SSDs.

If you avoid brand new stuff and extremes, you should be fine with either brand atm.
